Graduate

Bennington’s graduate programs are built on the belief that making new work is at the heart of the educational process. The College’s graduate programs are small, intensive, and highly selective. They are best suited for students who have a strong sense of what they want from graduate work and know how to assume responsibility for the design of their educations.

“In every field, but especially in the arts, the people who accomplish great things are the ones who approach what they do with excitement and the passion for continuous discovery. We are talking about a way of life, not just a career. Bennington instills that passion. It has great teachers who understand that the moments of discovery are worth everything, and that is the spirit they pass on.”
